Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has made history during the 2025 NFL season. As of Week 7, he became the first tight end to achieve at least 50 receptions and six receiving touchdowns within the first seven games of any NFL season, according to Dallas Cowboys Public Relations. Additionally, Ferguson tied the record for the most receptions in the first five games of any season for tight ends, with a remarkable 41 catches.
Historic Performance
Ferguson is only the second tight end in Cowboys history to score in four consecutive games, a feat previously accomplished by Dallas legend Jason Witten. His impressive performance indicates that he is on pace for a record-setting season.
Upcoming Challenge
This Sunday, Ferguson will have a chance to build on his historic start. The Cowboys are set to face the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium. There is a strong possibility for him to extend his success, considering the Broncos’ recent defensive struggles against tight ends.
Broncos’ Defensive Vulnerability
- In Week 7, the Broncos allowed six receptions, totaling 154 yards and two touchdowns.
- Their defense has given up three receiving touchdowns to tight ends over the last three weeks.
- Notable performances include:
- Tyler Warren (Colts): 4 catches, 78 yards in Week 2
- Oronde Gadsden II (Chargers): 5 catches, 46 yards in Week 3
Given these statistics, tight ends have been consistently productive against the Broncos this season, which bodes well for Ferguson. Compounding this favorable matchup, Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II will likely be focused on the Cowboys’ standout receivers, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
Celebrating National Tight End Day
As the league’s most productive tight end this season, Ferguson is poised to shine on National Tight Ends Day. With his current trajectory, football fans can look forward to witnessing his continued success in the upcoming game.
